Comic Panel of the Week: Deadpool #19

W: Brian Posehn and Gerry Duggan P: Declan Shalvey
When I took my first steps as a comic fan back in the late 90s, Deadpool was one of my early “discoveries”. That book was like nothing else I had read at that point: witty, over-the-top crazy fun with a dark side lurking just beneath the surface. In the 15 years since, many creative teams have handled the Merc With A Mouth – some I’ve enjoyed, others have done nothing for me.

This current run is up there with my favourites. The first arc had Deadpool fighting zombie versions of American presidents. We’ve had retro issues, such as the 70s style team-up with the Heroes For Hire. And now this arc: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

A secret organisation has been abducting Deadpool, stealing his organs (he has a healing factor, so they keep growing back), and using them in illegal genetic experiments. The events of this arc nearly broke Deadpool. But as this panel shows, he ain’t easily broken.

Pop Culture Christ

Our world has all kinds of weird and wacky ideas about Jesus. He's in our movies, our TV shows, our books, our music, everywhere. But how do they compare to the Jesus of the Bible? What about other areas of Christianity, such as God, Scripture, or faith? That's the aim of Pop Culture Christ. To look at how Pop Culture views Christianity and how Christianity views Pop Culture.
